WTF!!!!! Tweety Show with Charlie Cook....
Just unbelievable...I'm going to paraphrase but I'm not far from the actual words:

Cook: Shows Obama up 9 points...I don't think it's 9, it might be 6 or 7 or 8...but not 9.

I mean...WTF kind of sentence is that?

Tweety: Obama may not do so well in PA...it may be the race effect it may be the class effect...may be Bradley effect. (Ed note: may be Tweety effect)

Now...where Obama and McCain are close, Obama can't do it...he just can't. Too tall an order. (VA)
************************************************8
So I get it...if Obama's up, then it's not a big deal or that much. If they're tied, then Obama can't break the tie, EVEN IF HE'S BEEN SURGING IN THE STATE FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS.

they keep saying things like: if Obama loses MI or PA, he's finished. Well, that's true...if McCain loses CO, NM, ND, VA, OH he loses...but they rarely mention that, do they?

1. I saw that too
and heard it, and couldn't believe my ears. Why doesn't he just flat out say that no matter what the facts show, he's going to just keep saying that Obama can't win? That's what he's been doing, and he's not alone.

2. I stopped watching the MSM. They need a horserace and they will do anything to get it.

4. and if he was a bit behind, it would be....Why can't he close the deal?
It's all bullshit.

They know it, and they need to know that we know it.

Poor schmucks; they never expected that folks wouldn't pay them no mind.

Why you think they had the 6 day obiturary for Tim Russert? They want to hope that folks hold up the so called journalists in the same awe that the hold themselves. That's why throughout the entire discussion of Russert, they kept talking about how the general public really held Russert...even if most of America don't truly know who Russert was.

It's all a big Hoax.

On Edit I decided to add: I think the MSM is trying their level best to kill the Obama run for President. They are frustrated beyond belief because most of their efforts aren't working...Hillary didn't win; their major sabotage efforts did not sink Obama...what's next for them? I guess it's these silly "polls".

Good luck guys...there's a force in our country right now that's greater than the MSM. (It's kinda like the flood waters in the Midwest.) We are going to take our country back and the MSM is not going to be a factor in this movement. In fact, the MSM will be ignored!

6. Could be that they think Obama's support levels may be slightly inflated
due to the bump he's received from relatively recently becoming the presumptive nominee. That is something that tends to happen traditionally. Not that I'd put it past Tweety to talk out of his ass; he has quite a track record of doing so.

8. These are the same idiots who said Obama had a problem reaching white women.
I don't watch these idiots anymore. I only watch Keith.

The others can go to hell for all I care.

9. Charlie Cook is one of the best pollsters around.
if not the best.

We need to heed what he says.

Even if you don't like the message.

10. Charlie Cook's job is to tell us what we want to hear
And then deride him endlessly if he doesn't.

13. He cited BRADLEY EFFECT two days ago also, as a means of dismissing Obama's 6 pt lead
in a national poll.. and said he thinks that's essentially DEAD EVEN b/o the Bradley Effect.

It's almost criminal.
